Infinity Baby (2017)

Infinity Baby is the kind of small, sly comedy that takes one gloriously ridiculous idea—babies who never age—and uses it to poke at modern adulthood with a straight face and a wicked grin. Its humor is quirky and deadpan, the sort that sneaks up on you through awkward conversations, corporate doublespeak, and the creeping realization that the joke is uncomfortably close to home. The ensemble plays the absurdity with just enough sincerity to make the satire land, turning a goofy sci-fi premise into a surprisingly pointed riff on commitment, fear, and the fantasies we buy to avoid growing up. If you prefer broad, cuddly laughs, this may feel too oddball, but if you like your comedy original and a little sharp around the edges, it’s a smart, funny find.

Infinity Baby is clearly aiming for a sharp, near-future satire about commodified parenting and the creepy comfort of never letting anything change, and the premise is genuinely intriguing. The problem is it often feels like a thin sketch stretched to feature length: ideas pop up, tease something smarter, then drift away before they land. The humor is hit-or-miss and the pacing can feel disconnected, so if you’re expecting a tightly built story or a big satirical payoff, you may leave frustrated. Still, if you enjoy oddball indie comedies that live more on vibe and concept than plot, there are enough weird touches and committed performances to make it a tolerable curiosity.
